And yes, on paper, the Series 10 still boasts key Apple Watch staples, tight integration with iOS, a beautifully crisp Retina display, advanced sensors, and an impressive library of watch faces and apps. But once you get past the polished marketing and hands-on with the device, the cracks begin to show. In…

But while the Vibe Beam checks a few essential boxes, it also fumbles in many key areas. In this post, we focus entirely on the not-so-great aspects of the JBL Vibe Beam.

You’ve probably read a lot of glowing reviews about the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus by now—how it’s sleek, how it’s fast, how it’s a “game-changer” for productivity and media consumption. That’s all well and good, and I’m sure Samsung’s marketing team has done a bang-up job making sure we see only the nicest angles. But let’s put that aside for a moment. What if you’re just tired of being sold on shiny stuff and want to hear about all the ways this fancy slate stumbles? If so, come on in, pull up a chair, and let’s talk about what’s not…

Alright, so here’s the deal: I know you’ve seen those endless streams of glowing reviews about the M2 iPad Air—how it’s supposedly the best tablet for X, Y, and Z. Heck, I’ve read my share, and I’m bored out of my mind. Let’s skip that tired chorus. I’m going to level with you: the M2 iPad Air isn’t all sunshine. In fact, there’s a whole bucket of sticky downsides if you look past that shiny Apple badge. No, I’m not anti-Apple. I actually like a good number of their products. Still, I don’t think we should tiptoe around the fact…

Note: This is a personal, somewhat rambly take on the Sony ULT Wear’s downside. I’m skipping the glossy polish you see in those PR-laden reviews. If you’re tired of the usual “it’s so amazing!” fluff, welcome. Here’s a frank, messy account of what’s not so hot about this device. I remember first hearing about the Sony ULT Wear in a flood of ads that just wouldn’t quit.

Still Not a Perfect Fit for Everyone I remember when I first tried on the original AirPods, hoping they’d feel like slipping into a…

I’ve read about a million glowing takes on the Apple Watch SE, and I get it—it’s cheaper than Apple’s premium models, it syncs up nicely with my iPhone, and it doesn’t look half-bad on my wrist. But after sifting through endless praise, I’m ready to cut through the noise.

Don’t get me wrong, I still think the SE is decent for what it is. But once I…
